There's no such thing as a WriteFileW function. Since that only affects
a few error messages, I don't think it's overly important. The most
simple approach here is to enforce hex printing of all characters > 0x7f
as hex values as in:
MS-DOS style path detected: \tmp\t\\xC3\xB6\xC3\xA4
Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /tmp/t/\xC3\xB6\xC3\xA4
[...]
I've changed that in CVS.
